12
When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh:
13
and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also [played] on instruments of music, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, Treason! treason!
14
Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the host, and said to them, Have her forth between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword: for the priest said, Don`t kill her in the house of Yahweh.
15
So they made way for her; and she went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king`s house: and they killed her there.
